Started soft foods a few days ago. Anyone have this problem when you started?
No game replied to JP69's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
1/4 cup is about what you should be eating right now. do protein first. When you eat more protein dense food you will feel the restriction more, hence the smaller amount. I wouldn't worry to much about the veggies just yet -
Early out I ate the Hormel Turkey Chili and when cleared for beef at 6 weeks, the Dennison's Fat Free Chili (formerly known as 98% fat free). I also make my own, heavy on the meat so it is Protein dense. Lynda

Did you gain the muscle back?
pinkbunies replied to Justoperated's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I take testosterone shots each week which help with building muscle. If you don't get enough Protein your not going to gain muscle. You can most definitely gain muscle. Look into Testosterone injections. It is a huge help. I found out that my Testosterone numbers dropped drastically after surgery. They upped my dose and I'm back to normal. The weight loss has slowed for me, but I'm still losing inches and my waist size continues to shrink. I also need to up my calorie intake. Back to eating ice cream every night again. Last time I did that, I think I lost 9 lbs in a 7 day period. -
I had different experiences with different shake mixes. I didn't' like a lot of them for different reasons. Pure Protein Chocolate turned out to be a favorite. If the one that was recommended doesn't' appeal to you, talk to your doctor, see if a comparable product that you enjoy more is ok.

Have you tried unjury chicken Soup? I really enjoyed having something warm and savory instead of the sweet shakes at times. Good protein count and tastes good too.

Benefits Of A Post Workout Meal / Snack?
honk replied to angieband's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Shap, I normally exercise right before eating dinner so I am not having a post work out protein in addition to my meals. Conventional knowledge is to have carbs prework out so your body has ready available energy for the work out, and protein post work out so your body can rebuild muscle. -
Benefits Of A Post Workout Meal / Snack?
BikiniBodby30 replied to angieband's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
@ Nebula- Something rich in protein and low in carbs. Usually just a protein shake for most people. And the reason you want to take in the protein is so that your body can repair the damage that is done to your muscles and burn fat calories instead of taking those calories from muscle. Basically each time you work out with weights (and all of us should) and become sore the next day, you've made tiny tears in the muscle fibers. This is the only way that the muscle builds and gets stronger. Hence the reason for the protein. Protein is food for your muscles. -

I try to follow Dr. Schulze (herbdoc.com) if you heard of him. His stuff are real, and he recently introduced a [/url]Protein shake, which I take. It doesn't tastes that good, but it's real....look at his blog. -
Dry Heaves And Waking Up In Sweat
smilebig2012 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved 4/10 and I thought I was feeling a lot better. Yesterday I got out of the house and ran errands. Felt good, slept 8 hours and felt like crap today. Barely sipping and dry heaves. Can't get my energy up. Today is one week, don't know if I need additional vitamin or something. Anyone have this? Protein first then water? I dry heave and I feel like I am back on day 4.... -

While I am not vegan, i do have crazy food allergies that has made it difficult post op. (I was sleeved on 2/8/17) I am highly allergic to cow's milk, whey, yeast, and a few others. These allergies have made it difficult because I can't eat cottage cheese, cheeses, puddings, traditional yogurts, hummus, etc. So while I am not officially vegan, I am eating like one due to allergies and where i am at in my healing. And frankly, I am struggling a bit to get in my Protein. I drink Vega shakes twice a day. (40 grams there) I eat eggs, and have eaten Almond Milk yogurts (tough because there is only max 5g protein in a 6 oz cup). I've even mixed some Protein powder into my tomato basil Soup. (which was a bit weird because of the vanilla taste) While I enjoy my Vega, Orgain, and PlantFusion Vegan shakes, I don't necessarily want to drink one every day for the rest of my life. However, it may be a reality because I can't eat/drink all the protein waters, bars, wafers, Snacks, etc that are out there for quick protein. My one word of advice, is plan the foods you can/will eat at each stage of recovery (Clear liquids, full liquids, puree, etc). I didn't. I thought it would be pretty easy to incorporate what I'm already doing. But it's really not. -

Thanks for sharing it provides great insight. Yeah I feel as if I made my decision but I also feel as if I just want to be sure. I basically want to be able to look back and say I know that I've done all that I was able to do concerning natural methods before I go in for a surgery date. I've been graced and blessed not to have the "fat people problems" concerning traveling and tying my shoes. Yet I'm very mindful because I already know what it feels like not to be able to shop where you want and fit into the clothes in your own closet. I've also taken that into consideration too concerning being healthy-just because I'm healthy now doesn't mean that it will remain that way if I don't make a major change. So where I am right now is reviewing all options and counting the cost for every option I take and even the ones that I don't. -

I think it would be very hard to stick to a vegetarian much less vegan diet and get in your protein and other nutrients. (You may be saying...but you don't really need as much protein as people think....I know that's what I said in the beginning...but it's not as much of anything.) Having practiced both vegan and vegetarian for a short time, I can't imagine adding that restriction on top of the restriction of volume. Please do lots of research before moving forward.

Whoa Nellie!! If! For the first time since surgery I overindulged in one of the protein shakes. It was good so I drank too much, too quickly. About that time my chest said, "WHOA THERE!" I got the message quickly and it was not garbled. "IF YOU DRINK ONE MORE SWALLOW, I AM GOING TO PUNISH YOU". Well, thanks to the experiences of others on the forums, I knew not to go up against the big guy. I surrendered, put the remainder of the shake in the refrigerator, and will have the remainder of it later. These forums are so important.

How slow is your weight loss 6, 9, 12+ months post op?
Infernored posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey guys, just wondering what your weight loss is after 6 months. I am 6 months out now and have lost 95 pounds so far, but the last few months it has been dragging. I still eat between 600 - 1100 calories a day. Most days I get 80g + of protein and keep my carbs under 30g. I exercise a few days a week and stay very active. I wear about a size 16 now (started at a 24). I would like to lose another 70 - 75 lbs, but would be happy with 50. I am going to change up my exercise routine tomorrow to see if that helps. I have been doing lots of walking and c25k. I'm going to start aerobics and weight training tomorrow and aim to do that 4 days a week. In my head I know I will lose more weight eventually, but I still get scared that this is it. How is everyone else doing? -
There are some excellent protein bars out there. Those do it for me every time I like different ones, but Atkins has some that taste exactly like some candy bars on the shelves. But they do not have the sugar and carbs of candy, and they don't spike blood sugar. I feel like I'm doing something bad when eating one.....they're THAT good

Was just banded yesterday and am sipping my first protein shake as I type. I feel rather good. A little tight in the abdomen but not a lot of pain. Alot of the gas it gone, slept pretty good, and had no problem putting on socks and getting dresses. I had a great surgical team in Dr. Johnson in John's creek GA and at Emory John's Creek. All of the team was GREAT. I had lost 20 pounds preop and looking to move the scale a lot in the coming weeks. Thanks to all on this site. You provide such great information that nothing that has happened so far was a surprise. TJ

Weight gain 10 D post op
par1959 replied to Marielbx's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You had surgery in October? If that is the case you should be eating regular food and not relying on protein shakes. Maybe you not getting enough calories in. If you follow most of the rule most of the time you'll lose most of the weight. Be patient. -
Lactose intolerance and the liquid diet
lsereno replied to joannao74's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
The unjury Whey Protein is good choice if you are super lactose intolerant. It was the only Protein powder i could tolerate the first couple of weeks post-op. The chicken flavor can be mixed with Water. Lynda -
5 weeks out and feeling depressed
onesleevedmamma replied to rowebaught's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Fat carries estrogen. As you loose it, the estrogen is released into your body. That can really mess with mood. Also, the above post is right. Major surgery plays a huge part. Plys, if you were an emotional eater, you don't have that crutch anymore. It will take time for your body to get used to the changes and hormones and new diet, etc. Please!... reach out to those who support you and to your Dr and let them know. There are options to help . Don't suffer in silence. You made a great choice for your health by having surgery. It will get better! -
I use it in my protein shakes and it's so yummy. I use the PB2 chocolate protein powder in my Jay Robb chocolate whey powder. Give it a try.

Yes! Healthy carbs are essential before a workout! My doctor cleared me to workout (within reason) as soon as my body felt up to it. I started walking at the track at two weeks post op. By 6 weeks post op I was completing four miles, walking the curves and lightly jogging the straight aways. I would eat a banana about an hour before, if not I would get dizzy spells and feel very week. I also tried my best to stay hydrated. It seemed that I was able to drink water so much better during physical activity, so I would carry my bottle of water with me and sip, sip, sip during the walking portion of my exercise. Good luck! Oh, and consuming your protein within the hour following your workout, is essential to aide in muscle recovery and building.

Im 5 months out post op, am i eating too much?
Thatguy replied to Thatguy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
basically i dnt really eat too much normally on protein shakes , just alittle concern i get that much down now -
I love the Unjury products but I do agree I think you can only get it online. The strawberry sorbet is good when mixed with lemonade and it's an easy way to get 20grams of protein in. It's not to bad with milk either for something different.
